Over 2.4 million learners in Kenya have received their 2025 examination results for Grade 6 and special needs intermediate assessments, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) announced this week.
This includes more than 1.29 million Grade 6 pupils who sat the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) and over 1.13 million learners with special educational needs who completed the Kenya Inclusive Learning Assessment (KILEA).
KNEC confirmed that schools can now access individual learner performance reports through the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal.
“The 2025 KPSEA and KILEA performance reports are ready for schools and candidates to access,” the council said on X. “Schools can access individual learner performance reports on the CBA portal (https://cba.knec.ac.ke).”
Grade 6 learners sat their exams from October 27 to 30 last year, while learners with special needs completed theirs between October 27 and 31.
KNEC emphasized that all candidates must be registered learners at their institutions, providing details including names as per birth certificates, gender, year of birth, citizenship, and their chosen religious education option.
For learners with special needs, registration also included categories such as Visual Impairment (VI) for blind candidates using Braille, Low Vision (LP) for those requiring large-print papers, and Hearing Impairment (HI).
The KPSEA serves as a key milestone for Grade 6 pupils preparing to transition to Grade 7. The assessment focuses on practical skills and competencies, contributing 20 per cent to a learner’s overall score.
This is complemented by another 20 per cent from school-based assessments. The government covered the assessment fees for learners in both public and private schools, except non-citizens, who paid Sh750.
The release of the KPSEA and KILEA results comes shortly after the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results, marking the third-to-last cohort under the current education system.
